Hooded Horse has consistently released popular games in recent years. Well-known titles such as Manor Lords and Against the Storm have gained significant attention, and games like Cataclismo and Norland have cultivated loyal communities. However, there’s also a hidden gem in their collection: Old World. Currently, it’s available at a huge 90% discount on Steam.
Build empires, raise heirs, and rule generations – For only $3.99
Old World is a historical 4X strategy game developed by Mohawk Games, with Soren Johnson – the lead designer of Civilization IV – at the helm. The game takes place in the classical era and combines building up your empire with managing your ruling dynasty. It’s been praised by players on Steam, currently boasting an 84% positive rating.
Forget playing as an immortal king or queen! In this game, my character actually gets old and *dies*, which means I’m constantly thinking about my heirs. I’ll be dealing with all the usual stuff – politics, diplomacy, wars, and researching new tech – but it’s way more than just building an empire. What I really love is that it’s all about character-driven storytelling, intense court drama, and creating a lasting legacy that spans generations. It’s not about *how big* my empire gets, it’s about *who* my family becomes.
The update released on September 24th included many improvements – we’ve made adjustments to game balance, improved the AI, and fixed several bugs. Scouts received a significant overhaul: units that were hidden will now reveal themselves after a few turns, and Agent Networks now impose a cooldown instead of eliminating scouts entirely. We also tweaked Religion bonuses, made tribes and barbarians act more believably, and refined how map scripts work. Beyond that, this update improves tooltips, provides more helpful warnings for multiplayer games, and resolves numerous minor problems.
If you’re searching for a new strategy game to really get lost in, now is a great time to check out Old World (and its downloadable content). It’s currently available for just $3.99 during the Steam Autumn Sale, but this offer ends on October 6.
